Activity ideas from our teachers
Follow along with a reading of “The Berenstain Bears on the Moon” by Stan and Jan Berenstain, then make your own solar system with yesterday’s paper. Paint a mural of the Night Sky and then whip up a Milky Way snack in the kitchen. Explore the surface of the Moon with Moon Rock Counting and Moon Sand. Don’t forget to stretch before you test your strength and accuracy with Planet Toss.
Follow along with a reading of “Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms” by Julia Rawlinson, and then get your Springtime groove on with a new song about seeds. Forget about seasonal allergies with beautiful Fingerprint and Fork Dandelions, they are pollen free! Bring a little sun to snack time with homemade Sunshine Muffins and then hurry back outside to make some sweet Mud Pies. Don’t forget to wash your hands before you take a leap at a new game called, “Hop! Skip Jump!”.
Follow along with a reading of “Strictly No Elephants” by Lisa Mantchey, then get dirty with colorful mud and paint your own pet elephant. Make your own Animal Movement dice and see if you can act like an animal then settle down with gentle conversations about pets and how to take care of them.
Follow along with Ms. Jane as she reads “Teddy Bear Picnic” by Jimmy Kennedy, then join in with a sing-along. Head outside in disguise and join the teddy bears on a picnic.
